Summary
The documentation page exhibits minor Windows bias by referencing BitLocker as a comparison for Azure Storage encryption and linking to the Windows-specific Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG) for further information about cryptographic modules. These references may make Windows users feel more at home, but do not provide equivalent Linux/macOS comparisons or resources. No examples or tooling are provided that are exclusive to Windows, and SDK/library coverage is cross-platform.
Recommendations
- When comparing Azure Storage encryption to BitLocker, also mention Linux/macOS equivalents such as LUKS or FileVault to provide parity.
- In addition to referencing Windows CNG, include links or notes about cryptographic modules and standards relevant to Linux/macOS environments (e.g., OpenSSL, libgcrypt, or platform FIPS modules).
- Ensure that any future examples or tooling references include both Windows and Linux/macOS options, especially if command-line or scripting is involved.
